View all 8 ReflectionsTom Shipman’s untimely death remains clouded in suspicion. He had just undertaken a health check. Passed with flying colours. He was President Kennedy’s regular driver. How does a loyal Secret Service Agent and trusted presidential driver die of a heart attack just a month before the tragedy that took place in Dallas? RIP Mr. Shipman.
